Point System in Custom Sovereign Creation

September 3, 2010 7:38:26 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

So has anyone else noticed the weird point costing system in the custom sovereign creation screen?

What I am talking about is how individual stats (like strength, dexterity etc...) cost 3 points but end up costing only 1 point if that point is your last one left. Wouldn't it be more intuitive to have stats always cost 1 point? That way if there are any points left over they can simply be dumped into the stat section.

This is one of those things where I am not sure if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong...?

Well the point system as it is kind of nerfs custom sovereigns when they're compared to regular pre-made sovereigns, but in future multiplayer matches, it would work well against another custom sovereign.

I noticed the same thing.

A pretty minor detail but it does encourage gaming the creation system to squeze out that one extra point.

Overall the Soverign creator needs more balancing and interesting options.

  1. The special equipment costs should be MUCH MUCH lower.  A Spear is 15 points! 
  2. There really needs to be some magical type specialization options.  Things like Fire Mage, water Mage, summoner, enchanter.  Going into specifics within the confines of the current magic system doesnt seem worth my time right now though.
  3. Is it wisdom or essence?  I would prefer having wisdom as a seperate stat, one that affects mana regen and magic resistance.
  4. Similar to starting with equipment, some soverigns should be able to start with a simple spell (flame dart, war bear etc...
  5. Stat bonus should be in 1 point increments OR should cost increasingly more as you specialize.
  6. The soverign should have the option to start with extra gold.
  7. Traits the affect things need to be quantified. For example Hardy adds to hit points, but by how much?
  8. More special abilities in general especially ones to help define a soveign such as melle, marksman, diplomatic and adventuring abiliites.

It's nothing you're doing wrong.

awuffleablehedgie pointed out how you can get infinite points.  I haven't tried it myself.

As it is right now... you can only make a few types of Sovereign aka a cookie cutter made with limited customization.

 

I wrote a long post about additional  customization for sovereign's
